Important Information: 

Proper clearance and installation are important when replacing stove glass. Allow at least 1/8" of room for thermal expansion. Glass installed without adequate expansion clearance may expand against surrounding components and break.

Mounting screws and other metal hardware also expand as the stove heats. Do not overtighten the glass-retaining hardware. The glass should be securely retained without being rigidly clamped in place.

Ceramic glass should not automatically be substituted for tempered glass in fireplace doors. Do not install ceramic glass in a factory-built or prefabricated fireplace unless the appliance is specifically approved or heater-rated for its use. Always follow the appliance manufacturer's requirements.

FAQs:

Q: What are the dimensions of the glass?
A: The panel measures 17 5/8" wide x 12 3/4" high and is 3/16" thick.

Q: How much expansion clearance should I allow?
A: Allow at least 1/8" of room for thermal expansion. Insufficient clearance can place stress on the glass as components heat and expand.

Q: Should I tighten the retaining hardware firmly against the glass? A: Do not overtighten the mounting hardware. Metal hardware expands when heated, and excessive pressure can damage the glass.

Q: Can I use this ceramic glass to replace tempered fireplace-door glass?
A: Do not substitute ceramic glass for tempered fireplace-door glass unless the appliance manufacturer specifically approves that configuration. Factory-built and prefabricated fireplaces require particular attention to the manufacturer's glass requirements.
